Pop Music From Beyond The Grave: Britney Murphy with Paul Oakenfold
As Redbox machines the world over mourn the loss of their big promotional posters for Deadline and the former producers of King of the Hill breath a sigh of relief that the series has ended, the world is still processing the loss of Britney Murphy. One factoid that has come out of this Hollywood tragedy has been the fact that apparently she sang. And sang passably well for techno dance music. So well that she worked with Paul Oakenfold:
Everything Is Better With Tofu!
Going through my list of favorited YouTube links over the past year, I discovered we talked about the following video on-air and completely forgot to post the video up on the website for all to enjoy. So please enjoy the upcoming Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles (a Wii-exclusive rail shooter) made better by replacing all zombies with giants blocks of Tofu:
Another Chikara Intermission: Player Dos' Super Ability
Chikara Pro might just be the best wrestling federation ever: Communist Bovines that are good guys, a wrestling Chipmunk that's acorn free and better than you, and Fair Use Law's favorite tag team of all time - the Super Smash Bros of Player Uno and Player Dos. We've seen Player Uno in the past, and now here's a spotlight on Player Dos and his Super Smash Ability: insert any NES cartridge into the compartment in his tights and he'll obtain special moves from said game!
Video Game Music Sorbet: Super Punch Out
Happy Boxing Day, folks! To celebrate a holiday we know almost nothing about but its name, we are constructing a huge cardboard box fort in our backyard that will also double as an insidious lair/gentleman's club for mad scientists. The soundtrack to our construction? The hard hittin' soundtrack to the SNES classic Super Punch Out. Synergy, folks!
Episode 231 - "Hey Schmiegel, Why Did You Delete Your Twitter?"
It's Christmas morning! Look under your tree. See that big package that looks like socks that you always wait until last to open? Well, might want to open it first, because it's a very special episode of the Fair Use Law podcast!
So gather the family around the Christmas tree and celebrate a very special episode of the Fair Use Law podcast featuring the return of the perennial third wheel Baker and the second week in a row with guest Jim. The now four-pronged Triceratops Tribunal go out of there way to never talk about Christmas this Holiday special as they jump from topic to topic including Chris Brown’s recent tirade against Wallingford, Connecticut, Britney Murphy’s recent passing, Miley Cyrus rapping more in 2010, and more!
Now onto the completely non-secular celebratory videos!
We start off with an instantly classic comedy bit, made better by being animated, from Patton Oswalt. Here's his in-depth take on the Christmas ballad "Christmas Shoes:"
Imagine my surprise this season when my favorite 80s hair metal band, Sniper, released a special Christmas-time rock jam entitled "All I Want For Christmas (Is To Rock)" on the YouTubes. Man, that lead singer sure does move like a panther across the holiday festooned stage:
You may think their existence as horrible abominations against humanity would keep the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from celebrating the holiday in that new old fashioned way. You will also be wrong. So please to enjoy a Turtles Christmas!
To what lengths will Fair Use Law go to attempt to qualify for art subsidy money? Well here is a short cinematic adventure entitled "Carlise Clam and the Christmas Creature" to find out:
Do you feel Christmas has lost its heavy metal edge? That the birth of our savior has become all pansified? Well then, Left 4 Dead 2's Midnight Riders have a Christmas Wishlist you most likely can get behind with their new single, "All I Want For Christmas (Is To Kick Your Ass):"
And lastly, I had to venture to the shark infested waters of Daily Motion to find an embedded version of this music video, but as the best Christmas song of all time, it was worth it. Ladies and gentlemen, tighten up those gas masks, because we're having Christmas at Ground Zero:

Christmas In Hollis - A Heartwarming Tradition
To all you Christmas sweater wearing, gift wrapping, panicking over a turkey holiday celebrators working hard to make your Christmas Eve night go right, I posit for you a yearly Fair Use Law tradition. Sit back with you and yours and enjoy the best Christmas music video of all time. It just might be the best way to show you care this Christmas:
Episode 230 - "This Cinemax Isn’t Going To Spank To Itself”
Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to episode 230 of the Fair Use Law podcast, a number that lives forever in the hearts of creepy grandfathers who love a good racist joke or two. And we are sure to grow into that kind of person since we manage to make the most obvious joke ever 30 seconds in. After those shenanigans are through, Randy, Dan, and special guest Jim discuss God’s gift to reality TV, Jersey Shore, at obsessive length, Jager Bombs and new haircuts, and touch upon Man vs. Food’s recent stop in Hartford, CT, literally in our own backyard.
That's right, they are taking it back!
We also discuss and sigh at great lengths at Man vs. Food visiting Hartford, Connecticut and quickly realizing there is nothing good to be had in Hartford. Want proof? They had to go "Outside Hartford" for this challenge:
Now for something completely different. I post this for two reasons: because A. it's the best Christmas song ever song by the best voice actor ever and B. to acknowledge the best internet meme started by the Internet Wrestling Community. Don't get it? It's okay, just sit and enjoy the pretty music:
After that, we need something for the female listeners for Christmas, me thinks:
And males, I got something for you, especially if you love weird Japanese kids shows from the makers of Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police!
Happy Snowflake Day, folks!
That's right, they are taking it back!

Get Real, Japan: Nega - Haunted Jealousy
It's a busy time today at the Fair Use Law photo development hunt/espresso lounge. Still celebrating a most triumphant Friggin' Taser day yesterday coupled with preparing a double-donged thank you/surprise to our listeners this Christmas, we could use a break to sit back and listen to the finest rock Japan has to offer. This week it's Nega, who bring us some melodic metal with industrial touches on their single Haunted Jealousy:
Good Music You Should Know About: Drugstore Fanatics
Merry Holiday-mas-kah-zah, folks! Put on your non-denominational dashiki and government approved Holiday sweater-things for we have another band you've probably never heard of but probably should. As a special holiday bonus, we're sharing a band that's giving their CD away for a song... if by song we mean free. I'm talking about Drugstore Fanatics, a very chill yet still heavy industrial rock/ambient band, with the first track off their CD, Hangman. Music can be had for free this very second, folks, over at their official website:
Haddaway Done Fowl: Chicken Man Performs What Is Love Solo
Wannabe folk singers, put your acoustic guitars away. Acrobatic stunt troop? Stop cartwheeling off of fences. Because ladies and gentleman, Chicken Man singlehandedly dominates the panhandling community with pure, unadulterated talent.
Episode 229 - "I Had My Heart Set On Unforgiven II Being Our Song"
Seasons greetings and Happy Snowflake Day from the Fair Use Law consortium of free association. Episode 29 of the second Fair Use Case File brings with it many a tale of Yuletide Celebration as Dan recalls what the Holiday was like before schools weren't allowed to torture the elderly. We also discuss the mindfreak (MIIIIIIIIIIIINDFREAK) that was David Lynch's Eraserhead and what that's a movie you don't watch, the strange Uzumaki over Norway, the recent rash of zombie infestation in Japan, the political ramifications of wrestling a bear, and more!
Oh yes, I said bear wrestling. It's on now! Here's Tracey Smothers, known for many a failed attempt to get famous in the WWF, wrestling what can only be described as a confused and sedated bear. Listen as the announcer tries to paint it as a fair fight:
This past week the Fair Use Law studios were delighted, disgusted, and entertained by the Japanese movie Uzumaki, based on the manga series of the same name. About a small town that slowly descends into Tim Burton-esque weirdness due to the appearance of spirals of every day life, it should come as no surprise that we found it a tad freaky that Norway succumbed to the very same fate mere hours after we finished watching it. Here is a fan-made but still awesome trailer for said movie so you can put the whole spiral into awesome perspective:
Did you know David Lynch was offered the role of directing Return of the Jedi after George Lucas saw Eraserhead, a movie we all know is very similar to a space opera about midget bear things? Well, here's David Lynch to explain this unfortunate series of events:
And finally, what do you get when you mix every comedy nerds' favorite comedian (and Weird Al! And... uh, Aimee Man?) together to record a cover of the 80s hit charity single, Do They Know It's Christmas? You get pure, unadulterated awesome all up in your eye and earballs:

Merry Christmas with STAR POWER!
Ladies and gentlemen, this almost needs no introduction. I present to you: holiday lights done Guitar Hero style to the Cliffs of Dover:
Video Game Music Sorbet: Mega Man
With the early Christmas present from Capcom given to the world in the form of Mega Man 10 being announced, we here at the Fair Use Law Bubble Lead Emporium couldn't help but remember where the roots of this nostalgic and timeless franchise started. So close your eyes as we take you all the way back to a simple time, when a man built a robot to be his son and protect us all from an evil scientist who built other robots who weren't like sons:
Get Real, Japan: Luna Sea - Rosier
It doesn't take a lot to please us and make us clap like a trained chimp here at Fair Use Law. Give us some Japanese Rock with an amazingly awesome, face melting baseline and a moody video and we'd gladly pay you Tuesday. That's right: we'll pay you a full day of the week in return. This week we welcome Luna Sea into the prestigious folds of us telling Japan to get real, with a song that just might have the best bassline of all Asian countries - Rosier:
Episode 228 - "Bear Rehab With Dr. Drew is Must-See TV"
Welcome back ex-convicts and those who bargained a deal, for episode 228 of the Fair Use Law podcast. This week Randy and Dan discuss a bevy of topics such as the red flags that should be in Dan’s medical file, Conspiracy Theories with Jesse Ventura, bringing joy through the word “Rape” on Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew, Blade Runner forever being a cold fish, and more.
We start this week like we do every week: with a gynecological Hanukkah PSA. Yes, I know... if you've seen one gynecological Hannukkah PSA, you've seen them all, but the message still rings true:
CBS just might care a little too much here...
Now, if that was wrong, then I guess the following advertisement for Science World must be ohhh so right, even if it causes me to scream "Mein eyes" in pain:
This week we also discuss the debut episode of Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory, mainly concerning the Alaskan HAARP project. Here is the trailer for said episode, featuring clips of his interviews with world renown researchers such as... uh... guy at a bar:
Also a hot topic for us this week: how "sushi" the narration of Blade Runner was. But I think I've found the only thing that would be less appropriate in this cult classic movie:
And finally, a bit of self indulgence. Last year I posted Innerpartysystem's Don't Stop as my music video pick of 2008. It turns out, however, that due to the fast paced editing and some S&M gear in the original video, they had to completely redo the video for the foreign market. Never one to avoid promoting a great band twice, here's the second version of the video, still great but in different ways:

Yo' Parliment So Faaaaat....
One of the time honored traditions of the British House of Commons is the use of a good zinger or perhaps a jagged insult towards an opponent on the House Floor. So thankfully the internet took that to the next logical conclusion, mixing footage of this phenomenon with the audio of former MTV "hit" show, Yo' Mama:
Dear Starchild Episode 3 - Unlock iPod's Hidden Potential
While he may be no ninja, Paul Stanley of KISS can dole information just as well... and while hitting the high E over C, too. You can't stop rock and roll, so you definitely have no chance but to check out episode 3 of Dear Starchild:
Video Game Music Sorbet: Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Every Saturday here at the Fair Use Law Snowmobile Rental Shed/First Aid Pavilion,we like to sit back with a Saint Bearnard's tiny barrel full of brandy and some yellow snow and enjoy the video game music of our youth. With recent news that Michael Jackson may, in fact, have written music for Sonic 3 like everyone on the internet already knew, what better way is there to celebrate than by grooving to the music he himself might have composed:
Episode 227 - "Everything Borks In Large Amounts"
Welcome back, friends and well wishers, to a special Thanksgiving Day-recorded episode of the Fair Use Law podcast with the return of perennial hot poker and third wheel Baker. Join us as the reunited Triceratop Tribunal discuss a wide variety of things such as the state of our country's health care system as it relates to Baker's back, how fun prescriptions can be, the shame of Nick Jr and David the Gnome, how to ruin a free clown birthday, and more!
Now, in the immortal words of former X-Men scribe Chuck Austen: let's get to the tits!
With Black Friday now past us and the Super Modelquinns still at large eating the hearts and brains of our youth, it's nice to know that someone out there is paying non-murderers with a sense of humor cash money to promote their wares. Like Target, with Maria Bamford:
What's that? Want more Bamford, preferably with her rapping about Santa? I've got you covered!
One thing you might want to avoid buying your children this year, unless they are German synth-metal enthusiasts like Randy's son, is this Rammstein vs. Sesame Street monstrosity:
However, if you are wondering what I'm asking Santa for this year, I think Nintendo of Japan just wrote my wish list for me:
And finally, in the interest of saving you time and video game equity this holiday season, let us say that Rogue Warrior for the console of your choice is probably not worth it. However, in the grand tradition of the Lo Wang Rap from Shadow Warrior, this grim Cold War-era first person shooter features an end credits "rap" made up entirely of lead voice actor Mickey Rourke's dialog. So please to enjoy the only enjoyable part of this game and save yourself the 60 bucks:

Don't Stop Mario Now
Here at Fair Use Law, we've featured Automatic Super Mario World hacks before; whole levels set up down to the little music note block to give Mario and clear and automated path to dash through, usually to the beat of a song. Never before have we given you 4 simultaneous Automatic Super Mario World hacks, though, all set up perfectly to play Queen's Don't Stop Me Now:
